Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?
If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.
Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)
Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).
No one knows.
Right?
Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?
Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.
Further Musings:
Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.
Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.
Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.
No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.
I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?
What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol
These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.
If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.
Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?
Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.
I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.
Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.
Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).
Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
